MACDONALD WINDSOR HOTEL RUNNER-UP FOR GREEN CATEY AWARD

Macdonald Windsor Hotel was a runner-up for a much sought after
Catey Green Hotel of the Year Award coming in closely behind the

have celebrated the most successful hotels, hoteliers and hotel
employees across the UK. Nearly 90 judges shortlisted the nominees
in 14 categories.

Proud to have achieved runner-up status, Beverley Molmans,
General Manager at Macdonald Windsor, said; "We owe much of our eco
credentials to our 'green champion' Greg Brown who has worked with
our 'green team' to ensure our environmental initiatives are
maintained and continually developed for the benefit of our guests
and future generations."

in winning a Silver Award in the Business Tourism category at the
